Yemeni forces have fired as many as 38 rockets at several Saudi military bases in the southwestern province of Jizan.

There has been no immediate report on the possible casualties or damage caused in the attack.

The attack has been in retaliation for the deadly Saudi aggression against the impoverished Arab nation.

Earlier in the day, Saudi war planes targeted a market in the northwestern Yemeni province of Amran, killing at least seven people.

Saudi fighter jets have been bombarding Yemen since March 26 without authorization from the United Nations and headless of international calls for a halt to the onslaught.

According to UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, at least 5,133 people, including 1,528 civilians, have been killed and 3,605 others have suffered injuries in the conflict in Yemen since late March.
